Found this article today. Thought i share it. Maybe people will understand why that word is so bad and shouldn't be used lightly.

I hope people take notice and use this word more carefully, thinking about the fact that there are people playing games that have experienced this and don't want to be confronted by it when they play a game.
Great thanks to the people that might not use it as lightly anymore in the future. |

It just means that they haven't been in proper therapy yet. So nope, this won't affect me.

" Stay ignorant, man. Like therapy is capable of "healing" mental issues, lmao. |

Wounds heal, but scars do not.
+1 for a bit more sensitivity for certain topics. We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.

Good post Dirk. Hope some of the narcissistic subhumans who think rape and other things like racism look at this and try to clean up their acts.

" Thank you. If at least 1 person thinks about how to use certain words then this was not for nothing. Same as the "your mom" comments, if someones mom died those comments can be very painful. |
